What if the distance between you and God isn’t something you need to overcome, but something you’ve imagined was there in the first place?
That’s the question behind our new interactive app, How Close Am I to God?
We wanted to create something that brings the ideas behind Dualistic Unity and our book, Proof That You’re God, into an experience you can actually play with.
Not another spiritual personality test. Not another questionnaire telling you how enlightened you are. And certainly not something that judges you for what you believe.
Instead, we created a playful, interactive opportunity to discover how the ideas you hold about yourself, other people, and reality influence the way you experience your life.
Why We Created It
Most of us grow up surrounded by ideas about who we are, what we’re supposed to become, and what it means to be good, worthy, successful, or spiritually connected.
Whether we’re religious, atheist, agnostic, or somewhere in between, we can become so accustomed to our explanations of life that we stop questioning them.
We confuse what we believe about reality with reality itself.
And when our experience doesn’t match those beliefs, we often find ourselves struggling with uncertainty, disappointment, judgment, or the feeling that something is missing.
But what if the struggle isn’t caused by what we’re experiencing?
What if it’s our resistance to the experience, our expectations of what should be happening, or our assumptions about what it means?
We created How Close Am I to God? to make that question accessible, relatable, and, most importantly, enjoyable to explore.
What Does the App Actually Do?
The experience begins with five simple questions about God, belief, and how you understand your relationship with existence.
From there, you’ll encounter fifteen relatable situations exploring how you respond to uncertainty, disagreement, expectations, control, and your own self-image.
There are no essays to write, no complicated instructions, and no religious knowledge required. Simply tap the responses that best reflect how you see things.
Along the way, you’ll discover:
- 20 interactive reflections that invite you to look at familiar experiences from a different perspective.
- Two optional mini-games that playfully explore our desire to win, defend our position, and feel certain.
- Five short readings examining how certainty, control, judgment, and self-image influence our experience.
- A Concept Grip Index, a playful reflection on how tightly we may be holding our interpretations of reality.
- Personalized insights and exercises that encourage further exploration without telling you what you’re supposed to believe.
- A shareable results card you can save, show your friends, or use to start a conversation.
And because our goal isn’t to give you another label to identify with, your results aren’t a measure of your spiritual worth or your literal distance from God.
The app begins from a very different proposition: What if actual separation is zero?
Why Is It Fun?
Because recognizing something about yourself doesn’t have to feel like homework.
We designed the experience around familiar reactions, surprising questions, playful challenges, and those little moments when you catch yourself thinking, “Oh, I do that!”
Sometimes you’ll recognize an old habit. Sometimes you’ll laugh at how quickly you defend an opinion. Sometimes a question might stay with you long after you’ve finished playing.
You can approach the experience with curiosity, skepticism, humour, or even disagreement.
The point isn’t to get everything right.
It’s to see what happens when you’re not trying to.
How Can It Help?
Perhaps you’ve noticed how easily a disagreement can become personal, how difficult it can be to admit uncertainty, or how often your expectations turn ordinary experiences into frustrating ones.
The app offers an opportunity to recognize some of those patterns as they’re happening.
That recognition doesn’t require adopting a new belief. You don’t need to become a different person, achieve a particular score, or convince yourself that everything is wonderful.
You may simply begin to notice the difference between what’s happening and what you’re telling yourself about it.
The experience concludes by introducing one of our three familiar practical reminders from Proof That You’re God:
Relax. Pay Attention. Be Yourself.
Not as commandments or goals, but as invitations to recognize what’s already here.
Who Is It For?
Anyone curious about themselves.
You don’t need to believe in God to enjoy it, and you don’t need to reject God either.
Christians, atheists, agnostics, spiritual seekers, skeptics, and people who have never given these questions much thought are equally welcome.
In fact, the different ways we interpret these questions are part of what makes exploring them so interesting.
